Sorry your going though this. Not everyone will be excited. But if their reactions are more like the one shown above then CUT them out of your life.

I am having my 4th kid and NOONE had nothing but "congratulations" and "i am so happy for you" messages. Because at the end of the day it's my husband and I who take care of our kids. We don't ask for any help! NO one watches our kids except us.

If you don't depend on anyone for help with your kids then they should have NOTHING to say.

Congratulations! This baby will make a great addition!!

That’s the funny thing about it... my mom and his dad are the two who are the least involved in our kids lives. We very rarely ask anyone except his mom to watch our kids and that’s maybe once a month, if that!!!

Also I don’t expect everyone to be happy. But his dad saying those things really got to me. Just as my moms silence did.

Regardless if they like it or not this baby or babies is on the way. Don't let anyone steal your happiness.

Really scared for a similar reaction from my mom and MIL. We are debating even telling them until after baby is born. We have 4 already. Already decided to get sterilized after this one. But they already say we multiply like rabbits. It sucks because this one was a surprise as i was on birth control.

Yea. They don’t deserve to be in your children’s lives even if they wanted to. That is so sad. His dad acts like you are the only one responsible for getting pregnant 😂😂 surely your husband knows what causes it and is equally responsible in “ruining his life”. Some people!

Is he financially supporting you? Because I can't imagine any other scenario in which your family planning would be any of his damn business. And even then, he can always cut the purse strings if he's that bent out of shape.

Don't let him or anyone else steal your joy. Since he didn't say it, I will-

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy and an uneventful delivery. 😊
